WTA Hua Hin Quarterfinal Predictions Including Laura Siegemund vs Rebeka Masarova

There were several WTA Hua Hin upsets on Thursday, with all the remaining seeded players getting knocked out. That presents a terrific opportunity for the remaining eight players in the draw. Former French Open quarterfinalist Laura Siegemund is one of the women hoping to capitalize on the opportunity in Thailand. We at LWOT give our predictions and analysis in this article, but which players do you think will reach the semifinals?

Many expected Sramkova to withdraw before the tournament after her run to the final of the Jasmin Open last week. However, she continued that form by beating last year’s Australian Open semifinalist, Magda Linette, to reach this stage. Fett will be fresh heading into this match after receiving a walkover from Varvara Gracheva, but overcoming Sramkova will be tough. The Slovakian is playing great tennis right now, and her best level is superior to Fett’s.

Both players managed impressive victories in the last round against seeded players. Zidansek came from a set down to overcome Katie Volynets, while Podoroska beat Katerina Siniakova in straight sets after the Czech hit countless unforced errors. The victory against Volynets is good preparation for Zidansek since Podoroska plays a similar brand of gritty tennis. It should be a tight battle, but Zidansek is backed to continue her good run in Hua Hin.

Hartono finished her last match after midnight on Thursday due to rain delays. Hontama will try to take advantage of that with her style, which is suited to extending rallies. Neither woman has ever been inside the Top 100, making this a crucial match for both. Hontama’s greater rest after the previous round might make the difference, but in truth, this is a 50/50 matchup.
